Create the ultimate healthy, crunchy snack without destroying the delicate oils.
While raw, soaked almonds are best for maximum nutrient absorption, sometimes you just crave a crunchy, salty snack. Store-bought roasted almonds are often fried in cheap, inflammatory seed oils (like canola or sunflower oil) at extremely high temperatures, which oxidizes the healthy fats. Here is how you can dry-roast your premium Mamra almonds at home to get that perfect crunch while preserving their integrity.
Preheat your oven to a low temperature of 300°F (150°C). Roasting at a low temperature is the secret to drying them out for a crunch without burning the internal oils.
In a bowl, toss the raw almonds with the olive oil or ghee until they are very lightly coated. You just need enough oil so the salt will stick.
Sprinkle the fine salt over the almonds and toss them again to ensure an even coating.
Spread the almonds in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Roast for 12-15 minutes. Check them at the 10-minute mark and give the pan a shake to prevent burning.
Take them out of the oven. They will feel slightly soft while hot. You MUST let them cool completely on the tray for 30 minutes; this is when they harden and achieve their crunch.
Mamra almonds have a very high oil content and can burn quickly. If they taste bitter, the oven temperature was too high or they were left in too long. Always stick to low heat (300°F).
Yes! Air fry them at 275°F (135°C) for 8 to 10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through. Watch them closely as air fryers cook much faster.
